What Are Typing Skills Tests?

Typing skills tests are assessments used to measure an individual’s typing speed, accuracy and productivity.

 

Recruiters and employers use typing assessments to evaluate whether candidates can enter information efficiently and accurately in administrative, secretarial, customer service and data entry roles.

 

Online typing skills tests provide objective evidence of performance by measuring metrics such as words per minute (WPM), keystrokes per hour (KPH) and accuracy levels.

 

ISV.Online provides typing skills assessments designed to help organisations identify candidates with the typing proficiency required to perform effectively in a wide range of roles.

Why Use Typing Skills Tests?

CVs and interviews do not always demonstrate how quickly or accurately a candidate can type.

 

Typing skills tests provide measurable evidence of performance, helping recruiters and employers assess productivity, accuracy and job readiness before hiring decisions are made.

 

By evaluating typing ability before interview or placement, organisations can reduce hiring risk and identify candidates who are capable of performing effectively from day one.
